Washington News:
Under a heavy smokescreen barrage of red
baitings Congressman Everett M. Dirkson, an
Illinois Republican, announced this week that
be is introducing a bill to "make all crews on
American mercbant ships members of the active
Naval Reserve." The bill is intended, be said, to
"militarize commercial shipping in event of a
national emergency."
This announcement follows
closely a statement made re
cently by Frank J. Taylor,
president of the American
Merchant Marine Institute,
that fully fourfifth or 80 per
cent of coastv/ise and inter
coastal shipping would soon
be brought under the wing of
the Navy for the same "na
